Years ago I took a photoshop class. The whole color thing is complex. The first issue I ran into was how computers display colors differently. Then you get into how a light source changes how the eye perceives color. Light intensity also changes how the eye sees color.

I used a color that looked great on a vehicle in the daylight, but on a paintchip it looks unattractive.

As Robert C. said - go look at vehicles in the daylight and find a color you like.

Also note that some of the old metallic colors don't look the same in the new base/clear coat paint.

When it came time to throw color on my Rampside, I had an idea what color I wanted to go with. But I also wanted to see how a medium Grey would look.The simple solution was to google Corvair Rampside Pickup's and also the same but add the year. Go to Photo's. There are hundreds of examples of Rampside colors. This gave me a better idea.I wanted a medium Grey. I selected 1965 Glacier Grey. It is a color I had on a 65 Monza many years ago.I wound up with just the look I was after.

Indeed, Dave's shaded photo shows "blue" and the one taken in the sun is definitely more a silver gray - and there is a blue stripe on the pavement, so the camera has a decent color spectrum.Photos are a guessing game, for sure!
